Step #3 in finding your joy is to find your community. When we have trouble finding joy, we need a trusted group of like-minded people who can help us and lift us up when we need it. Then we can continue on our journey to finding joy.
Sadly, since I went through these steps the last time, I feel like my community has decreased slightly, and that is ok. It's really nothing I've done, or anyone else has, it's just how life works. People come in and out of your life at different moments. It's up to you to recognize that and be okay with it(I'm still working on that one).
I do have constants that have been there all along, and that is good too.
However you find them....just do it. Find your community of people who will be there when you need help and lifting up.
Here are my Joys for the week ending 11/21:
1. Nate subbed all week in the middle school, it was nice to ride to work with him
2. I have some dear friends who are retiring VERY soon. It spurs me on to keep my financial goals intact so I can retire someday
3. Saw Escape to Margeritaville this weekend. Not a great plot but it didn't matter because the music was FUN!
4. House and animal sat for Paige and Jared. It was a nice little get away.
5. Super deep cleaned the bathroom. It is so nice to have a clean bathroom!
